I am 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my first baby.
My stomach is hard as a rock and I can't sleep becasue of it. My lower back has been hurting for about 3 days off and on,
and my hips have been hurting too. I went to the doctors on Monday(12-19-2011) and they said I was 1cm dilated and 75% effaced. And I have diarrhea since Sunday, and i've been having hot flashes too?
Any answer?
you are almost there momma! hang in there and when the contractions get regular head to the hospital remember eat before you go it could be a while!!!
ps diarrhea IS NORMAL
You really should speak to your OB/GYN about having diarrhea. You caould have a stomach virus. All the other things are normal for being pregnant.
I'd make sure your bag for the hospital is packed. Sounds like your body is getting ready to go into true labor. However, this prelabor stage can last a few days - even a week. Good Luck!!
I would definitely let the Dr. handle this. It could be important/or not but they need to know this recent development in case the baby is in danger.
I would go to the hospital or doctors office just to be safe. The worse that can happen is they send u home.
